About this role
Ripple's Global AML & Sanctions Compliance team is hiring a Due Diligence Specialist to assess regulatory and reputational risk across the company's institutional clients, counterparties, and corporate partners. You'll conduct Know Your Customer analysis, Enhanced Due Diligence reviews, and watchlist screening for prospective customers onboarding to Ripple's regulated subsidiaries globally.

A CAMS certification, additional language fluency, or prior fintech or crypto experience would strengthen your candidacy.
The position is based in London and requires in-office work.
